Assessing Travel Options
These links and downloads provide advice and materials to help you assess the transport opportunities around your site - and the travel habits of those who use them. They help you assess the existing situation before you start writing your travel plan. All travel plans should include a polar plot (pictured below), for quick reference during the monitoring of your travel plan.
